Question

Why are inequalities the way they are

Answer 1

The direction of the inequality faces the larger number.

Explanation:

For example, the symbol "<" means "less than",

In maths, this could look like "2<6", meaning "2 is less than 6",

In reverse, the ">" symbol means "more/greater than",

This could appear as something like "3>2" meaning "3 is more/greater than 2".

Hope this helps :D
